How nice!! I had no idea the two were such close friends! Unfortunately Maxima didn't choose the best time to go to Barcelona regarding the weather!
Check this out: Apprently Willem and the girls were present as well: RBA Edipresse - Revistas
I would sure love to buy the magazine!

according to that article, Maxima, W-A and the three girls went to Barcelona, stayed at the Palma\'s house, the Urdangarin kids and the three dutch princesses went to a museum because of the weather and the whole gang also went to a restaurant and went to the port It\'s great they are such good friends (as said on the article) and the fact that the two families got together and spend a great time!

This is a bit of a surprise to me... but I'm glad the families are friends! I guess that kind of explains Infanta Cristina's sweet gesture to Princess Amalia at Willem-Alexander's birthday last year. (Although Cristina does seem like the type that just likes kids in general)

This is a bit of a surprise to me... but I'm glad the families are friends!

I thought that they had some kind of closer relation as the Urdangarins were invited to WA's birthday, plus I'd say Maxima and Cristina are a similar type of woman, probably with matching interests. Nice to see WA & family going for the touristy stuff in Barcelona!

Loved those pictures; thank you for posting them.
These two families are absolutely adorable and it seems they get along very well. good for them!
Who knows if one of the boys will eventually marry one of the Orange girls? These pictures will be priceless, then........
